I love my 201 ! Isn't that an awesome machine?
I haven't done ruler work ---- yet. Let us know how you like it.
I see it in my future :)

Watch out, ruler work is addictive, just like vintage machines:thumbup:

Why, I believe you do! LOL

The rulers are a lot of fun and are working well on the 201-2, I have even played with a little adlib fmq swirls and stuff. I am just using a practice sandwich that I made earlier and am planning to make one more and try some more movements before tackling my quilt.

How fun! I LOVE ruler work, I just got into it myself and it's so much fun! I feel like I am producing much nicer looking quilting now, and with the rulers to help me out I'm doing a lot more elaborate quilting than ever before too. (Slowly, working on my 2nd ruler-quilted quilt now.) But I enjoy the heck out of it.

I am happy to hear how well it is going for you. I agree, some of the designs are so fun to do & add so much to the overall look.

Is the 201-2 a new machine or is an older model?

My 201-2 is from 1950 - Centennial badged:-)

tscweaves, what shank ruler foot do you use on the 201? Low, mid or high? I have a 201 and would be interested to know.
